Stories of Ordinary Madness (a set of 2 books: Bukowski's Hollywood, Brautigan's The Lawn's Revenge).
Two of the most prominent representatives of the American counterculture of the 60s and 70s: Charles Bukowski and Richard Brautigan in one set.

The novel 'Hollywood' is based on the true story of Bukowski's work on the script for the film 'The Barflies,' which was directed by Barbet Schroeder in 1987. The main roles were played by such stars as Mickey Rourke and Faye Dunaway, and the prototypes of the characters are still easily recognizable: Francis Ford Coppola, Jean-Luc Godard, Werner Herzog, Norman Mailer, etc.
Richard Brautigan is in many ways similar in spirit to Bukowski. His work has inspired writers ranging from Erlend Loo and Christopher Moore to Haruki Murakami and Sarah Hall.

The book includes: the 1971 short story collection 'Lawn Revenge', a paradoxical and vivid collection of both full-length stories and sketches; the historical novel 'Abortion' about a California public library full of romantic possibilities that only accepts unpublished manuscripts; the story 'Lest the Wind Blow It All Away' about one fatal mistake when pistol cartridges are bought instead of a hamburger.
